I recently auditioned the Lexicon MC-1 and the Casa Nova. Even though the MC-1 is far better than the DC-1 the Casa Nova was significantly superior for two channel. That said, I then tried out an EAD Ovation, of which I am now a proud owner. Nuf said.
Lexicon DC-1 or Theta Casa Nova
I am currently using a Lexicon DC-1 with 24 BIT DACs in my system and for HT this is excellent, my problem is in the 2 channel audio mode. I do not feel like the Lexicon does a very good job in this area. I am considering the Theta Casa Nova to replace the Lexicon, possibly the Casablanca if I can find used/reasonable$. Has anyone A/B'd these 2, Lexicon/Theta, I am trying to figure out if going to Theta will improve my 2 channel listening. Thanks in advance.
